Weekend Update: Rain likely tonight, early tomorrow, before a cold front moves through

It’s warmer still today, and even under mostly cloudy skies temperatures should rise into the mid-70s this afternoon.

All the while moist Gulf air is flowing into the region, leading to a good chance of rain tonight and tomorrow, before noon, along with a cold front passage.

This front won’t be particularly strong, knocking overnight lows into the 40s across most of the area by Monday morning.

Between now and Wednesday morning Houston should get 0.5 to 1 inch of rain. (Weather Bell)

Temperatures will rise again through Tuesday, when there’s another good chance of rain, before a stronger cold front pushes through Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, say National Weather Service forecasters.

This cold front should finally clear out our skies — hello, sunshine — and push overnight lows back into the 30s and perhaps near freezing for inland areas.

The headline “Rain likely with STRONG cold front on the horizon” completely contradicts Eric’s text. Whoever writes the headlines needs to read the text CAREFULLY first. In the meantime, I appreciate your blog Eric, just not the headline writers.

The misleading, sensationalistic and sometimes outright false headlines are a nuisance but I suspect the people who write them are only doing as told in order to maximize clicks. I still remember one from way back that labeled a fatal drive by bar shooting that occurred in the 3rd Ward as having happened in the Museum District.
